I think The biggest problem the Canes faced this past season was the coaching. They were to careful unlishing thier dogs. We have great players in our roster and I think coach Shannon will know how to lead and use these dogs. The Canes will be respected next season, maybe not by the stupid money hungry BCS old guys, but by every football team that have to face a hungry Cane team. Yes congratz to coach Shannon for the new great recrutes, and I can&#39;t wait to fly down to the Orange Bowl in 2007 to watch my boyz doing some payback. <br />
Ps It would be nice if the Canes and those over rated Gators can open the season, and it would be even nicer to see coach Mayor get beat and show him M.I.A football style.

It&#39;s a been a long year.I am relieved that miami will start taking back south florida recruits. I would like to see UM go after the QB Marve and get a head start with Roland Smith&#39;s junior class. I reside only twenty miles from Rutgers. I&#39;m sick and tired of Schiano taking recruits from south florida. Rutgers can&#39;t keep new jersey recruits in state. Rutgers relies on south florida athletes to put it&#39;s program on the map. I&#39;m glad the canes will make it way more difficult for other programs. Let&#39;s get the offense turned around and get back to being a national powerhouse. </p>CanFanInMinneapolis commented on 'The Hot Stove: Shannon, recruiting and high school football'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d834d0435953ef2006-12-14T15:02:51Z2007-04-29T08:06:14ZCanFanInMinneapolisRandy Shannon, was definitely the right decision.

No one was talking about Greg Schiano when he was just a defensive coordinator with no college level head coaching experience before he took over at Rutgers, because no one cared about Rutgers it was a nowhere program, until he started coming to South Florida and stealing our candy while we were neglecting out base. Thats why Rutgers is even on the map. Now that will no longer be the case with Randy Shannon in charge. Randy will lock down South Florida. Just look at the job and respect he commands by what he has done in less than a week landing some of the biggest names in the state, in my opinion if he can nail down Major from St. Thomas the running back from out East and two or three solid offensive lineman to push the current guys. It&#39;s moved from an already impressive class to ELITE category status.</p>

Runs the spread offense, great arm, real team guy, great character, real leader. Plant H.S. went 15-0 with him this year.</p>
<p>Tyler Hardin from powerful Jefferson H.S. in Tampa is a hidden gem. Played linebacker for 3 years at another, lesser known school before transferring to Jefferson. 6&#39; 3&quot;, 235 lbs, a load of a linebacker, who moved to a down lineman to help his team in his senior year. Most scouts don&#39;t realize he&#39;s a natural linebacker and waiting to be found. Great student, too.</p>lonesomend commented on 'The Hot Stove: Shannon, recruiting and high school football'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d834d02b2d53ef2006-12-14T01:55:06Z2007-04-29T08:02:29ZlonesomendNow that the decision is made we all need to stand behind Randy Shannon.

Its always a risk moving an assistant up to be head coach. However, I guess everyone starts there at one time or another. Had a Greg Shiano or Barry Alvarez been available, perhaps this would have been a better way to go. We will never know. You make the best decision based upon the facts and the reality of the situation you have at the time. One thing for sure, Randy Shannon understands the importance of hard work and struggle to achieving success. That&#39;s got to bode well for him and the Miami football program. So its now the time to show 100% support for our hurricanes and its new head coach. The U gave us some great years. Lets hope the good times are coming back now. </p>CaneDomination commented on 'The Hot Stove: Shannon, recruiting and high school football'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d834d02c4453ef2006-12-14T00:14:33Z2007-04-29T08:02:45ZCaneDominationWR Jermaine McKenzie commited to Miami today. 4 star from Bradenton, was a Bama commit.

(Edge and baby j) We have two great players down here that can make gig plays happen at any given time. LB Brian Rolle and CB/KR/PR Aaron Henry. These two guys are studs and they are hungry. These are the types of low key guys the U needs. Brian is a hit machine. He is always around the ball and the boy can flat out head hunt. Aaron is a highlight reel just waiting to happen. He may not be the fastest but the boy has mad skills. They are willing and ready if the U would only come around and show them some love.

L-ville, G-T, and even DUKE beat us deep. That was and is our biggest downfall on DEF. We have ALL AMERICAN talent, then let them play back some. Like Sean Taylor and Ed Reed. With their speed, they don&#39;t need to be 3 or 4 yards off the line to stop the run. BACKERS should do the job! Then they should fill gaps. But, never get beat deep middle over and over. L-ville did it BIG TIME. So, IF def is so GREAT, then if could be the BEST EVER not giving up big plays.</p>Lake Worth 'Cane commented on 'The Hot Stove: Shannon, recruiting and high school football'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d835049fde69e22006-12-11T15:45:35Z2007-04-29T07:35:14ZLake Worth 'CaneShannon is the best the U could have done.

I would love to see Amato as DC, he has been a tremendous recruiter and coach.<br />
OC, up for grabs.<br />

don&#39;t leave out Leonard Hankerson. i cant beat the drum enough for this kid, what hands, WHAT HANDS!!! forget Chris Rainey (well, not really) , but it was Hankerson who played a key role in that amazing St Thomas comeback. unbeleivable, the U needs this kid. I went to watch Major Wright, but ended up watching Hankerson most of the second half.</p>chris commented on 'The Hot Stove: Shannon, recruiting and high school football'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d834cf13f153ef2006-12-10T14:14:03Z2007-04-29T07:28:58ZchrisCongradulations randy you were my choice all along in case it matters to you.

Now as for recruits the kid from south carolina whose 6-5 runs a 4.4-4.5 40 and is a raw receiver i am excited about. Remember guys like santana moss, willis mcgahee, ken dorsey oh i could go on and on. Anyways the point being Miami particulary under butch davis was masterful at pulling diamonds out of the rough that&#39;s the feeling i have about this guy.</p>DAN MAC commented on 'The Hot Stove: Shannon, recruiting and high school football'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d8350468ab69e22006-12-10T05:44:17Z2007-04-29T07:28:30ZDAN MACOn a negative side of things Shannon has to & I mean has to hit the ground running.

He must get out there &amp; get the right people &amp; players, because these fans will not give him any adjustment time as most coaches get when newly hired. That&#39;s the bad part about being promoted within &amp; being a life time Cane, the feeling is that he has the pulse of the team &amp; the area recruits and has seen what&#39;s gone wrong over the past few years &amp; should know what exactly to fix. That being the case then he should be able to address it ASAP!<br />
Most fans feel there is alot of talent already on the team just Coker &amp; his guys couldn&#39;t Coachem up nor putem in the best situation to be successful.<br />
I for one, putting winning aside am truly pulling for Randy Shannon I wanted him from day one because he offers stability nothing radical, which I was afraid a new coach would bring &amp; possibly kill this program.<br />
Lets go Randy we are behind you.</p>DAN MAC commented on 'The Hot Stove: Shannon, recruiting and high school football'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d834cf103a53ef2006-12-10T05:39:02Z2007-04-29T07:28:30ZDAN MACOf course Shannon being hired was a must do, if not then this Program could be looking at the death...<p>Of course Shannon being hired was a must do, if not then this Program could be looking at the death sentence. <br />
Now he has to go out &amp; nail down some great/special skill position players. Miami hasn&#39;t had a QB come in here in a few years &amp; after the &#39;07 season we don&#39;t have a QB on roster a potential disaster, that can be a huge selling point to some of the top QB recruits out there, knowing they will step in with a full 4yrs of starting. <br />
Next is his staff I&#39;m sure he&#39;ll keep the D under good coaching but as we all know the O is all about dead, I say hire Marc Trestman from NC State, he was O Cord for Super Bowl Raiders he also is west coast offensive guy which is what UM needs to go along with it&#39;s special players.<br />
Well lets wait &amp; see.</p>BFuenz commented on 'The Hot Stove: Shannon, recruiting and high school football'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d834cf071153ef2006-12-10T04:02:39Z2012-12-12T11:40:44ZBFuenzhttp://profile.typekey.com/bfuenz/Congratulations to coach Shannon.

You can already see that he brings immediate class to the position as he thanked a variety of coaches and said that the team was still coach Coker&#39;s team. The legacy of class continues!</p>
<p>MOre importantly, based on the news whispers, recruits are beginning to change their minds about the U. My hope is that we land a solid class this year. Currently we are ranked 39th by scout. We need to land 4 Five Star players.</p>
<p>Lastly, we need to determine what we will do with the offense. Either keep Olson and Berry or bring back Soldinger, Kehoe and Stevens. If not Stevens then bring in Bernie Kosar or Ernie Zampese.</p>jonscott8 commented on 'The Hot Stove: Shannon, recruiting and high school football'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d8350457a269e22006-12-09T19:09:30Z2007-04-29T07:26:25Zjonscott8Canescando, I believe the 11th would be Orlando Franklin, since he technically didnt get in this year.

<p>You can line that talent up left and right and just tell them to go play ball and they&#39;ll kick Meyer&#39;s ass all day long. Remember, this year might be a wash, maybe, but in another year we have OSU*. I want to beat them badly in their house.

<p>I don&#39;t know where manny came up with 11 and even the 10 below have a couple soft verbals and Cooper is now out. Phelon is at LSU right now. </p>

Name Pos Ht/Wt Stars RR <br />
Graig Cooper RB 5-11/185 6.1 <br />
Damien Berry DB 5-11/197 5.9 <br />
Phelon Jones ATH 6-1/185 5.9 <br />

Daniel Adderley WR 6-6/215 5.2 </p>
<p>Speaking of WR I like the size of Daniel Adderley. His high school coach Davis said his hands are the size of a football helmet.U think our QB can find that in the endzone?</p>

Shannon will get it done. I am excited about the next OC (hopefully Chud), DC (Amato?).<br />
Looks like Butch Davis&#39; first hire Hagen is not that great, I look for him to fizzle at NC.<br />
We need 2 or 3 more fast wide receivers, 2 gamebreadking rb, and some nasty OLineman.</p>herjackson commented on 'The Hot Stove: Shannon, recruiting and high school football'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e200d83504422269e22006-12-09T14:37:25Z2007-04-29T07:23:29Zherjacksonim a big time canes fans ever since they beat yha cornhusker for tha nat.title im from nd country but...<p>im a big time canes fans ever since they beat yha cornhusker for tha nat.title im from nd country but i hate them,that was the best move um made by givin shannon tha job good job canes!</p>
